Chapter 30: I'd rather be your concubine than his wife!
Qian Yuechun, this woman.
He fainted from the pain after being beaten thirty times.
The third uncle knelt directly in front of Qian Yueshu: "Second niece, I know your eldest cousin was in the wrong today. But please, for the sake of family, plead with His Highness the Crown Prince!"
The other members of the third branch of the family also changed their kneeling order from kneeling to Old Madam Qian to kneeling to Qian Yueshu.
It has to be said.
The third branch of the Qian family is quite perceptive.
At this point, they realized that begging Old Madam Qian on their knees was useless.
They could only beg Qian Yueshu on their knees for a glimmer of hope!
Even though my third uncle was born out of wedlock.
But he was, after all, Qian Yueshu's elder.
Therefore, Qian Yueshu could only pretend to plead with Xiao Qingxuan: "Your Highness, punishing people doesn't necessarily require beating them with a rod. The Gu family has money and grain... You can ask the Gu family to donate some money and grain to support the Northern Frontier."
hehe.
Even if she had to plead for him.
But you also have to take care of your family and make a huge sacrifice!
At this point, Qian Yuechun fainted and the fight was stopped.
But Gu Qinghan was already close to fifty strokes of the cane, and it was clear that he couldn't take it anymore.
At this moment, Qian Yueshu spoke up, saying she wanted to give money.
Gu Qinghan immediately said, "I'm willing to pay one million taels... no, two million taels to buy my life."
Crown Prince Xiao Qingxuan and Qian Yueshu exchanged a glance and signaled the guards to stop.
He, the crown prince, is really poor.
Look at Gu Qinghan, such an ordinary man, he can easily come up with two million taels of silver.
But he couldn't even come up with 200,000 taels.
If Qian Yueshu heard this, she would definitely retort: "Gu Qinghan is no ordinary person. In Jiangnan, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that the Gu family is the richest family."
Actually, Qian Yueshu wanted money to support her family.
They also want the third wife to come up with a sum of money.
But with so many people around, she couldn't very well speak up and cause trouble!
That's all.
Privately, they'll try to save face.
After the incident involving Qian Yuechun and Gu Qinghan.
A celebratory banquet ended on a sour note.
Everyone knows that this is not the end, but merely the beginning.
What a farce today.
It's obvious that someone is targeting Qian Yueshu.
If she were merely the daughter of a merchant, that would be one thing!
But judging from how much the Crown Prince cares about her, he'll probably want to get to the bottom of this.
The Qian family mansion.
After the celebration banquet ended, Xiao Qingxuan followed Qian Yueshu back to the Qian residence.
right.
This time, he followed her into the Listening Rain Pavilion openly and honestly.
before.
He always came to Tingyu Pavilion secretly, or at night.
But today he came to her yard without any hesitation.
Wang, the eldest daughter-in-law, said to Qian Jin, "I think your cousin is quite formidable; she has the Crown Prince completely under her thumb."
"Since you know she's not simple, then your elder brother's two daughters shouldn't come to the manor anytime soon." Qian Jin rolled his eyes at her and said, "Don't think I don't know what you're planning."
Wang retorted, "But even without them, there would be other women!"
Qian Jin sneered: "Didn't you see it today? Even Liu Yu couldn't beat my cousin, so your older brother's two daughters are even less of a threat."
She saw that her husband was angry.
Madam Wang also toned it down a bit: "I understand. I won't let the two of them into the mansion anytime soon."
Listening to the Rain Pavilion.
Don't be fooled by Xiao Qingxuan's constant defense of Qian Yueshu during the day.
He didn't seem jealous at all.
But when it was just him and her...
Xiao Qingxuan could no longer hold back: "Don't you have anything to say to me?"
He stood with his hands behind his back by the window, his back straight but stiff, exuding a cold and aloof aura that kept people at a distance.
Qian Yueshu shook her head.
The man was so angry that he was breathing heavily, and his whole body was radiating murderous intent.
Qian Yueshu walked up to the man and buried her head in his chest: "It's not that I don't want to explain, but someone like Gu Qinghan doesn't deserve it."
Unworthy?
He pushed her away, his voice like shattering ice: "You won't be jealous of him, you won't take revenge on his wife, you won't... you'll plead for him?"
She remained silent and offered no explanation.
This is a silent denial.
This caused the chill emanating from Xiao Qingxuan to intensify suddenly, as if even the surrounding air was about to freeze into frost.
The temperature inside seemed to drop a few degrees, and the candlelight flickered even more violently.
Xiao Qingxuan looked at Qian Yueshu!
She's always like this, using the softest gestures to do the most ruthless things.
Are they not even willing to give an explanation?
Or rather, you can't even lie to him.
Qian Yueshu is like this.
The anger in Xiao Qingxuan's heart became increasingly uncontrollable.
"Qian Yueshu!" He suddenly grabbed her shoulder with such force that she winced in pain.
She stubbornly threw herself into his arms again.
The man's eyes held undisguised mockery and hurt: "You don't think a hug can make up for something like this, do you? Or do you think I love you so much that I can overlook your promiscuity?"
His words were like poisoned needles.
Then he pushed again.
She wanted a hug.
He won't allow it!
Qian Yueshu steadied herself, which had been pushed slightly by the Crown Prince.
Once again, stubbornly and even somewhat clumsily, she moved closer to him.
snort!
Xiao Qingxuan wouldn't let me hug him.
She insisted on being hugged!
This time.
Qian Yueshu was no longer satisfied with simply wrapping her arms around his waist. Instead, she recklessly burrowed into his embrace, as if trying to penetrate the layers of clothing and embed herself into his very bones.
Xiao Qingxuan's body stiffened.
He was about to push it again.
But Qian Yueshu's actions were too resolute. Her small hands, tightly gripping the fabric of his back, trembled slightly, yet contained an undeniable strength.
Xiao Qingxuan took a deep breath, and finally softened...
She buried her face in his chest, her voice warm and gentle: "A man like Gu Qinghan... I wouldn't even deign to be his wife, but I'm willing to be your concubine."
time.
It was as if everything had frozen in time.
Xiao Qingxuan stood frozen in place.
All the surging anger, all the sharp doubts, all the bitterness of jealousy crumbled and shattered into irreparable dust before this gentle yet weightless statement.
He looked down in disbelief.
She kept her face buried in his chest, preventing him from seeing her expression.
He could only feel her body trembling slightly and her small hands gripping his clothes tightly.
"To be a concubine..." he repeated these two words silently, his heart churning with turbulent emotions.
There were things they both knew, but never said aloud.
Just like his social status prevented him from giving her the status of a legal wife.
This is an invisible yet indestructible barrier standing between them.
He never intended to wrong her.
Even if she couldn't be given the most prestigious title in her previous life.
He also wanted to give her unique and unparalleled affection.
But Xiao Qingxuan knew.
Just how much did Qian Yueshu want to be the legal wife?
How much she cares about her status as the Crown Princess!
In their previous life, they argued and quarreled countless times because of the rivalry between their wives and concubines.
Even if she were to live a second life, she would still have leverage over her.
He didn't dare mention making her his concubine, except for those initial angry words.
But now Qian Yueshu has actually spoken up on her own initiative!
